Jason Martin

I am a photographer and artist who captures the structure, light, and color of the built world — as well as creating custom spaces for the imagination.

My images are shaped by early and ongoing exposure to the fantastic creations of artists and musicians of the 1970s and 1980s: the synthetic worlds of science fiction and fantasy films such as Blade Runner and Stalker; the early music of Tangerine Dream and King Crimson; the warm, expansive sonic textures of Brian Eno and Michel Genest; the photography of Gregory Crewdson and Stephen Shore; the monumental synthetic spaces of Al Held — and a myriad of other artists, filmmakers, and musicians for whom color, form, light, and the worlds of other realities are paramount.

I received my degree in fine arts from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and Oakland, and have been creating for the past 25 years.

I live with my wife and fellow artist, Miranda Martin, in Birmingham — though our hearts and minds remain forever in California.
